It was not really stolen but shared, brought over by the Minangs during Srivijaya times ! ;)

The Minangs, the Indonesian matriarchs are prevalent in 9Negeri. I think the women lost out in Seremban with people like Isa Abu Bakararound and who now wants the Bagan Pinang seat.

Can't recall P.Ramlee singing that. I think it's more of a folk song. The lyrics sound like a fierce matriarch who drove away the menfolk to sleep in the mosque! :))

The language is strangely a little like a few odd Malay dialects in Sarawak coastal areas, although I've never met a Minang in Sarawak.

BTW, I read the Jakarta Post today running some articles of some Jakarta people, from Batawi reputed to be "hired" hands. They now want to seek out Malaysians on Jakarta streets. If they're "hired" people you know who from Malaysia just might hire them for a good spin to make things hazy at home!

Malaysians have good spin services from Fox media shrink heads. Anything to mask the real problems, like the surgical masks, are good for "some" Malaysians. The cow head didn't work. Maybe in Bagan Pinang, they'll try the chicken head!
